Affiliations

In my free time, I like to go hiking adventures with my dog, Dakota as well as kayak during the summer. But I also enjoy relaxing activities such as writing, reading, and creating artwork as often as I can. On my typical lazy day, I enjoy binge-watching a show on Netflix just as much as the next person.
